* EarlyBirdCameo: {{Webcomic/Ynez Hollock|sDeadlyGame}} is mentioned as a possible inspiration of the deadly game shortly before her story is released.

* BookSmart: Judith is ranked first in that class and puts in extra effort to guarantee an A+. On top of that, she's also a Teacher's Aide for one of her past classes. Her academic intelligence is of no use in the Main Game, where she spends a lot of time panicking and providing the occasional shallow insight.

* OhWait: When Tulio suggests voting for Judith, Galante, and Kotone, Clé angrily suggests adding Jessica to the mix, which is what Tulio did moments before.

* TheAce: Judith is midway through her college years and on track to getting an A+ in one of her classes. She is ranked first in that class and puts in extra effort to guarantee her grade. On top of that, she's also a Teacher's Aide for one of her past classes.

* NerdGlasses: Judith wears large oval glasses and points them out when Clé calls her a nerd.
* TheNicknamer: Shortly after Jessica's first appearance, she asks to call Judith "Judy" and later calls Kotone "Koto" and Tulio "Hockey".

* SpikyHair: In 1-1, Clé has hair sticking out in nine chunks on top of her head, four chunks in a high ponytail, and three chunks on each side below her ears. In 1-2, she loses the spikes and wears her hair in a low ponytail, presumably because it got messed up when everyone was knocked out.

** Kotone Shoji is Kanna Kikuchi, the timid middle-school girl who watched her older sister die.

* SupportingProtagonist: The story is told from Judith's point of view, but she is too spooked to poke around at first, so Sonia handles more of the exploration.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sonia Cadenza, the counterpart of Sara Chidouin, TheHero of ''VisualNovel/YourTurnToDie'', tackles more of the puzzles while Judith sits around.

* IronicName: Cade's surname, Buffo, makes Judith think of "basso buffo", a humorous operatic bass singer, but Cade's voice isn't very deep.
